I will touch on regulation in relation to the role of the RTB. Much good work is being done on registrations but another issue is arising with regard to student accommodation. I got an email from seven students, dated 16 February this year. They are all staying in one apartment or house. The landlord is looking for a €1,500 deposit to be paid by each student if they want the property from August on and for the first half of the rent, which is €3,500 per student, to be paid in August. That is in total breach of regulation. What action can the RTB take if a complaint is filed on this matter?
